In the third year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the first court meeting began.
A group of officials gathered together, muttering and talking politely to each other.
Speaking of those words that had not yet left the New Year festive atmosphere, the sound of His Majesty's arrival was soon heard, and many officials immediately fell silent.
There will always be new things in this new year and new meeting, but we can't open our mouths here and cause some trouble here.
What everyone didn't expect in the new court was that Li Yuan came again. And once they sat on the main seat, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were seated separately.
Regardless of whether the prince was destined to be an emperor or not, his identity meant that he could not be ignored. Li Yuan and Li Shimin also sat on the throne.
Li Chengqian, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty below and couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know if Master has received the letter I sent to Master? I wish him a happy New Year, and Master didn't send me a red envelope or anything like that. When I send New Year greetings to other elders, they all have a lot of red envelopes!"
If everyone knew that Li Chengqian, who was sitting here seriously, was thinking about money, they would not necessarily impeach him. Why did he meet such a prince, and was he obsessed with money?
The new court meeting has just begun, and a eunuch shouted loudly here to start playing if there is something to do. After leaving the court without anything, some officials began to come out to congratulate the New Year on the good weather in all places, and the people prayed for blessings and chanted the good things of the Li and Tang Dynasty. That's what he said. It was so exciting that Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh heartily here.
Indeed, as the official said, they quietly strolled around among the people during the Spring Festival. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian wandered around Chang'an City where the curfew was cancelled, and saw that there was no threat from the Turks from the north. , the Tang Dynasty was full of lively singing and dancing here.
After this eulogy, Li Yuan stood up from his seat when he was about to get down to business.
"Since the weather is good everywhere, I will leave first. I am too old to be of any use anymore."
Li Yuan said this and left on his own. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian hurriedly sent Li Yuan off. They also knew that they might face a counterattack from the officials who had a close relationship with each other during the Spring Festival, although they didn't know what it would be. What kind of things were involved, but if they really fought back, it would make me look a little embarrassed.
After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin sat on the main seat, and Li Chengqian no longer sat here. Instead, he stood behind Li Shimin, listening to the mottoes of the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Li Ying, the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate."
It's the same routine again, why are you impeaching Li Ying without opening your mouth? Although Li Shimin was helpless, he still asked.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Tell me, why do you want to impeach Li Ying?"
Li Shimin didn't give Li Ying anything to refute this time? Instead, he was waiting here for the person in front of him to explain why he wanted to impeach Li Ying.
But this time, Li Shimin was disappointed. Although he was waiting for these people to tell him why they wanted to talk about Xu Yunyan, he didn't wait long before he heard the impeachment official say here.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Li Ying for fooling His Highness the Crown Prince and actually letting His Highness the King of Han go to sea."
"What? His Royal Highness the King of Han went to sea?"
At this moment, Li Shimin remembered how the King of Han dealt with him and Li Chengqian after they were assassinated some time ago. I didn’t expect that after Prince Han went overseas, he would still have so many confidants in this court. It seems that Prince Han is involved with many aristocratic families, right? Otherwise, there would not be so many aristocratic families standing up for His Royal Highness, King Han. But just when Li Shimin hadn't figured out how to deal with them, Li Chengqian fisted the outgoing officials.
"It seems that what this adult said is wrong."
After Li Chengqian spoke, the official looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Li Chengqian looked at him and said slowly, "Why is the news I got different from what this gentleman got? King Han didn't make such a choice because of my master's instigation, right?"
When Li Chengqian said this, the officials seemed to have grasped the handle.
"His Royal Highness, you are the future crown prince of the country, how can you think of yourself as someone else's student in everything? Your teachers are all your ministers."
Li Chengxian listened to these people talking here and didn't say anything about what should or shouldn't be done. Instead, he nodded here.
"Then I don't know what your teacher taught you?"
The official looked at Li Chengqian here and continued to speak ill of Xu Yunyan.
"As a minister, Li Ying actually encouraged the prince to invade the territories of other countries around him. What's the point of this? How could I, the sovereign, do such a thing of abandoning justice and bullying the weak?"
It turns out that it was the face of the Celestial State that was causing trouble here again, making these people feel that they should not bully the weak.
However, Li Chengqian smiled, "What this gentleman said is different."
Everyone was about to seize the loopholes in Li Chengqian's words to refute Li Chengqian, so that he would know that what he proposed was serious and useful, and not something that you could easily veto because of what you thought. Li Chengqian started talking to him here.
"The four overseas island countries lack capable people to teach them. They are still like barbarians outside the Great Wall. Don't you know what the envoys from the Tang Dynasty were like when they first came to our Tang Dynasty? How many of these envoys from the Tang Dynasty have come to study?
These small foreign countries have been in dire straits, can you bear it? As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we naturally want to educate them so that they can save themselves from living a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood. Therefore, we do not hesitate to use the princes to go to the island country to educate them and let them know about production.
My prince is equal to their king. This is known to all the courtiers. Is it possible that when he goes to this island country, he should not give up a piece of heaven and earth for him to survive here? And when did we say that Li Yuanchang should stay on this island country forever? Now it's just for him to civilize the barbarians. "
Li Chengqian rationally talked to them here again about how much benefit it would bring to the Tang Dynasty to arrange for Li Yuanchang to go out, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed here.
Civilizing the barbarians has always been their pursuit. If they dare to refute, it is a bit unjustifiable no matter how they say it. But if they don't say it, they feel that their authority has been challenged, which is really unacceptable to them.
However, although they can't refute, they are still thinking about how to continue to impeach Li Ying, cut off Li Shimin's arm or break Li Chengqian's arm, and let Li Chengqian know that our energy is quite powerful, even if you can defeat me in many things. , but as long as we use our strength, we can still make you look bad. You have to remember that we are your elders and will always be your elders.
Although the matter of King Han was temporarily taken over by Li Chengqian in an understatement, once something happened to King Han, Xu Yunyan would not be able to escape his involvement no matter what.
However, after the impeachment of Xu Yunyan failed again, many courtiers were not discouraged. Now we have no evidence, and it will be too late to impeach him after a while when there is more evidence.
But just when they were about to call it quits, another official suddenly appeared.
"Your Majesty." Li Chengqian and Li Shimin looked a little ugly when they saw that this was another member of a wealthy family. What's the point of you holding on to this person?
Although they didn't say it clearly, the expressions on their faces made it clear what they were thinking.
But just when everyone was sighing here that heroes in the world still cherish heroes, and they were all here preparing to impeach Xu Yunyan, who was Li Tang's great help, this official came out to ask questions.
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors among the people that the imperial court has mastered new auspiciousness, and the output is several times or even ten times that of the current grain. I wonder if this is true or not?"
After this person asked this question, the people at the scene couldn't help but be stunned.
If the imperial court really had such an auspicious sign, it would be a serious blow to them. They relied on the low food production and their land to control more people.
If this random acre of land could achieve ten times or more output, it would be tantamount to bad news for them, and there would no longer be so many people counting on them and relying on them to live their lives.
It turned out that this was the case. Li Chengqian and Li Shimin smiled at each other, and couldn't help but think of Xu Yunyan's contribution.
But we really have no way to tell you clearly about this matter, but since someone has already raised this issue, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh here.
"Our Tang Dynasty is rich and prosperous. It is indeed auspicious. The output is more than ten times that of ordinary grain."
"What?"
At this moment, these aristocratic families were completely frightened, and whoever came out continued to ask.
"Then I wonder when your majesty's auspicious seeds will be promoted, and where will they be stored now?"
This person seemed to be asking unintentionally, but Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn't help but sneer, they want to know where this fine seed is stored, you are dreaming!
Although I knew he might not have good intentions, I still said it here.
"This improved variety has been successfully planted in many places. When the new season's improved varieties are mature, they will be planted in the Gyeonggi area. Starting from the Gyeonggi area, they will continue to spread to the surrounding areas. When every household has planted half an acre of food, it is estimated that they will spend more than half a year. The rations will come out.”
Li Shimin's understatement made these wealthy families completely afraid.
As long as half an acre of auspicious seeds are planted, half a year's worth of food will be produced. What a bumper harvest is this? This is not a few times the output, it is definitely more than ten times. If this happens, every household will not need more. If they plant one acre of land, their land will have no advantage at all.
This once again shook their foundation. In an instant, everyone couldn't help but look at each other here again. They already understood that this auspiciousness could not be left behind no matter what.
However, since Li Shimin had already brought up the topic of auspiciousness, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to stand in front of the stage and explain to them the benefits of this auspiciousness, the planting methods and precautions, how to preserve it, and how to use it.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but be even more shocked here.
This man who relies on the sky finally has a chance to fill his stomach openly, and those officials who are dedicated to Li Tang are praising Li Shimin here. He took out all the words that could praise Li Tang, and the faces of those aristocratic families were even more gloomy, as if they could squeeze out water, which further strengthened their idea of destroying Xiangrui no matter what.
"Our good days are going to be ruined and we won't give up."
A son of an aristocratic family was thinking viciously here, and there was someone singing praises next to him, and he couldn't help but let him hold a grudge too.
